City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Community Development FROM: Brandon Miles, Business Relations Manager CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: March 29, 2022 SUBJECT: Lodging Tax Funding Requests ISSUE Review of a lodging tax funding request from the City of Tukwila to sponsor the City's Juneteenth Celebration and to sponsor the Fiesta 5k Ole. BACKGROUND The City collects a 1% lodging tax on certain qualifying overnight stays in paid accommodations (hotels/motels/Airbnb) in the City. State law limits the use of these funds to tourism promotion'. There is currently just over $1 million in lodging tax funds available for use. The City's Lodging Tax Advisory Committee (LTAC) reviews all requests for use of lodging tax funds. LTAC then forwards a list of recommended applications to the City Council for its review and consideration. If LTAC does not recommend an application be funded, that application is not forwarded to the City Council. The City Council may approve or deny any of the applications recommended by the LTAC. The City Council may also approve an application and increase or decrease the dollar amount awarded2. The City accepts applications on a rolling basis, with the LTAC reviewing requests monthly. Pending Applications At its March 11, 2022, meeting, the LTAC recommended approval of two funding request from the City's Office of Economic Development. 1 RCW 67.28.080 (6) defines "tourism promotion" as "...activities, operations, and expenditures designed to increase tourism, including but not limited to advertising, publicizing, or otherwise distributing information for the purpose of attracting and welcoming tourists; developing strategies to expand tourism; operating tourism promotion agencies; and funding the marketing of or the operation of special events and festivals designed to attract tourists." 2 On August 17, 2016, the Washington State Attorney General's Office issued an informal opinion regarding whether a municipality could change the dollar amounts recommended by the local lodging tax advisory committee. Specifically, the informal opinion states: "When awarding lodging tax revenues pursuant to RCW 67.28.1816(2)(b)(ii), a municipality may award amounts different from the local lodging tax advisory committee's recommended amounts, but only after satisfying the procedural requirements of RCW 67.28.1817(2), according to which the municipality must submit its proposed change to the advisory committee for review and comment at least forty-five days before final action on the proposal." 1 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 1. City of Tukwila, Juneteenth, ($10,000) The City of Tukwila is requesting lodging tax funds to help support the City of Tukwila's 2nd Annual Juneteenth Commemoration. The Juneteenth Commemoration is the oldest historical celebration in the United States remembering the end of harmful and racist enslavement of African American people. The City of Tukwila, in collaboration with the Tukwila School District/Foster High School's Black Student Union, community-based organizations, the King County Library System (KCLS), and the Tukwila community have started planning for an in- person event at the Tukwila Sullivan Center. As part of the City's branding strategy, it was identified that the City should work on creating events tied to the City's multicultural population. The City of Tukwila lacks an authentic large community event that could be a draw for people from around the region. Juneteenth could be that event that the City grows overtime. Last year's digital event drew a considerable amount of digital traffic to Experience Tukwila website and social media. Last year's videos will be cut into a promotional spot for this year's event. Key metrics for the event will be total attendance, third party sponsorship participation, social media metrics, and web visits. LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund. Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund. 2. City of Tukwila, 2022 Fiesta 5k Ole ($4,000) The City Office of Economic Development is requesting funding to support and sponsor the Fiesta Ole 5K in May on a date to be determined. This event features a 5K race, music, and food. This event has been held for a number of years in Seattle but is now looking for a new location. Prior to COVID-19, the event had approximately 2,500 participants. With a new race location, it is estimated that there will be approximately 1,000 participants but the race should grow overtime. This is an established event with existing media partners and sponsors. The event organizers have significant experience putting on 5K races and events. The race is not fully confirmed, and staff wants to be able to support it if we are able to secure it coming to the City LTAC Recommendation on Application: Do Fund. Staff Recommendation on Application: Do Fund. FINANCIAL IMPACT The total request for the two lodging tax applications will not to exceed $15,000.00.

BACKGROUND On June 18, 2018, Ordinance 2577 was approved by the City to amend the Comprehensive Land Use and Zoning Map for a potential future project called Vintage@Tukwila. The proposal was for a 247 -unit affordable senior housing apartment building The site in the Ryan Hill neighborhood, which contains four parcels, was rezoned from Low Density Residential (LDR) to High Density Residential (HDR) with a set of conditions, two of which set an expiration date for the rezone: 5. The applicant must apply for a development permit for the proposed project within 36 months of the effective date of this ordinance. 6. Failure to comply with the conditions set forth herein shall cause the change to the Comprehensive Plan Land Use Map to be null and void, and the subject property shall revert to the zoning immediately preceding passage of this ordinance. The effective date for Ordinance 2577 was June 26, 2018, meaning the applicant had until June 26, 2021 to apply for a development permit or the rezone would be considered null and void. To -date, the applicant has not applied for a development permit. This rezone extension request was first discussed by the Planning and Community Development Committee at the February 2, 2022 Planning and Community Development. The Committee was in favor of seeing a draft ordinance summarizing the proposed extension. DISCUSSION The attached Ordinance 2577 details the full conditions of the rezone. The Committee is now being asked to review the proposed ordinance extending the rezone expiration date and send it to C.O.W. for a public hearing. The applicant has recently had a pre -application meeting and proposed a different design for the project than was reviewed in 2018. The site is challenging to develop with steep slopes, a wetland, and a stream buffer. The proponents are now asking for additional height above the 4 stories permitted in the HDR Zone in order to shrink the footprint of the building and minimize site disturbance. This change would require them to apply to the City Council for a development agreement in addition to the rezone. The revised project would provide 170 -units vs. the original 21 22 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 247 -unit proposal but would reduce site impact because the applicant is proposing to minimize the footprint of the building.

If the Comprehensive Plan's Land Use and the Zoning map changes are approved, the contract purchaser proposes to construct 247 Senior Housing units in a four-story structure on the four southerly parcels A - D. (Figure 1). Changing the Comprehensive Plan and Zoning maps are no guarantee that the project would be built as initially proposed but is provided as an example of a potential future development. The Comprehensive Plan and Zoning Designations and the subject site are outlined in green. Existing LDR zoning is shaded in yellow, High Density Residential located along 51 Avenue S. in brown, Commercial Light Industrial in purple and Office in blue. Comprehensive Plan Amendment and Rezone Decision Criteria (TMC 18.84.020): The City Council's decision to grant a Comprehensive Plan map change and rezone shall be supported by written findings and conclusions showing specifically that all of the following conditions exist. Approval of the map changes requires the adoption of an ordinance. 29 30 triJ LDR CLI Parcel 1) Tax ID 334840- 1860 186,001 sq.ft. LDR Parcel C Tax ID 334840- 1820 158,558 sq.ft.

At the time of annexation, the property was zoned to reflect the prior King County zoning. When the Comprehensive Plan and city-wide zoning were subsequently reviewed, no changes were proposed to the original King County designations. Public Comment On May 2, 2017, staff held the required public information meeting for residents and property owners within 500 feet of the site. Several property owners attended the meeting to ask Page 2 of 12 05/29/2018 questions. One written comment was received that stated opposition to additional traffic on 47Avenue S. because of safety concerns for local children and provided the opinion that 47 Avenue S. is not capable of handling the additional traffic volume. They requested that access to the proposed multi -family development site be from Martin Luther King Junior Way South (MLKJWS). The City Engineer responded that MLKJWS is designated by Washington State Department of Transportation as limited access and therefore not available for ingress/egress. The City Engineer has requested that at the time of a future development proposal that additional traffic analysis be provided. Because of the lapse in time since the required public meeting in May of 2017, and the initiation of neighborhood -wide meeting in November of 2017 (see "Ryan Hill Neighborhood Study" section below), staff held a second public meeting using an expanded mailing. There were no citizens or comments received at the May 9, 2018 public meeting. Rvan Hill Neiahborhood Study Staff initiated a neighborhood -wide study that looked at existing conditions, potential development scenarios and surveyed property owners and residents. The study revealed a number of things that were unknown. The residents and property owners have differing opinions about the future of the neighborhood. Opinions generally depend on where they live or own property within the neighborhood. Higher residential density and housing options are more desirable to property owners north of the Seattle City Light right of way than south of the right of way. Additionally, there was overall support for a neighborhood retail node that would provide additional neighborhood services. Neighborhood input also indicated that the neighborhood's existing characteristics were an asset as it was described as a "rural oasis in the city." Except for the approximate 15 -acre Raisbeck property located along the west side of the neighborhood and bordering MLKJRWS, which is the subject of this rezone request, future development is likely to be small scale (short plats) and developed incrementally. Development of less than 4 lots does not require frontal improvements nor would a through connection be financially feasible for most short plat developers. The lack of regional stormwater facilities and the difficulties associated with on-site storm infiltration and/or detention on steep slopes impacts the near term developability of many properties. In areas where redevelopment is more feasible, the needed water and sewer infrastructure improvements identified in the study can be incrementally installed. The incrementally added infrastructure will be able to support the long-term service objectives outlined within the study. Enhancing and improving the circulation system is feasible from an engineering standpoint but not likely from a financial standpoint. The 1,200 -foot -long dead end road (twice the length of the City's maximum standard) can be eliminated by connecting between the 109th/48th and Page 3 of 12 05/29/2018 31 32 110th/49th Avenue S intersections. The City, however, has many street projects, and this new connection is unlikely in the near future as a public project. Finally, the Raisbeck property, which is the Vintage@Tukwila site, is a linchpin for extending sewer service to properties north of the Seattle City Light right of way and south of S. 107th Street. Vicinitv/Site Information The subject site is in the Ryan Hill neighborhood and is primarily characterized by environmentally sensitive features located on or in its vicinity. The topographic survey provided by the applicant gives details on vegetation, watercourse and wetlands as well as topographic lines. Landslide Class 2 — Moderate and Class 3 - High landslide areas with topographic slopes that range from 15-40%. Wetlands and Stream The wetland and watercourse delineation report that was prepared for this application identified the following: Type 3 watercourse — Ryan Hill Stream. (Stream A) is located to the north of the site and bisects the northeast corner of Parcel D. Most of the wetlands are located around the periphery of the site but whose buffers extend onto the site. The exception is Wetland B. Wetland B is a type IV located in the center of the project site and requires 50 foot buffers. From the Tukwila Municipal Code: "Category IV wetlands have the lowest levels of functions (scores less than 30 points) and are often heavily disturbed. While these are wetlands that should be able to be replaced or improved, they still need protection because they may provide some important functions. Any disturbance of these wetlands will be considered on a case by case basis." (TMC 18.45.080 Wetlands Designations, Ratings and Buffers) Any future development will need to be setback from the wetlands and their buffers. Wetlands A and AA are category II and are located along Ryan Hill Stream and are required to have 100 foot buffers. Wetland C, a category III wetland, which has an 80 foot regulatory buffer, is located on the south of the site and extends onto the Seattle City Light property. There are two other category III wetlands, on the parcel north of the site. (Wetlands E & F — Topographic Survey) Page 4 of 12 05/29/2018 This is not : survey.

Marginal Way S. is about a mile to the west. The Rainier Beach Link Station is 1.3 miles to the north. in the Ryan Hill 51 Avenue S. Bicycle runs along 51 Avenue S. 3.1 34 Page 6 of 12 05/29/2018 Land Use/Development History There are 26 lots adjacent to 47th/109th/48th onto which the subject properties will access, 8 of which are developed with a single family home. The lots range in size from 3,500 square feet to 41,765 square feet. All but three homes, addressed as 10709, 10719, and 10729 47th Avenue S., were built pre -1964. The three addresses listed were built in 2003 and 2001 and are hooked up to the City's sewer system. The remaining five homes are on septic systems. A review of King County Assessor's property reports shows that they have designated that area as having moderate to high traffic noise. In this area, the assessed value of the developed single family homes range from $200,000 to $373,000. Also within this specific 26 lot area, four Tots were acquired by King County for property owner failure to pay property tax, two of which have since been sold at auction, which is evidence of the instability in ownership in this area. City Council Decision (TMC 18.84.030) The City Council has the authority to deny, approve, or approve with conditions and safeguards as it deems necessary to protect or enhance the health, safety, and welfare of the surrounding area, and to ensure that the rezone fully meets the findings set forth in the Decision Criteria (TMC 18.84.020,) which are outlined below. 1. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the goals, objectives, and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. (TMC18.84.020 - Criteria) During the 2015 Comprehensive Plan update process, there was considerable interest in the need to maintain and enhance residential neighborhoods, while providing housing choices. The Comprehensive Plan describes LDR as follows: Low -Density Residential: Areas primarily characterized by detached single-family residential structures and their accessory uses, along with educational, institutional, and recreational uses. Density may vary by neighborhood and for projects proposing innovative housing types such as cottage housing. These uses and densities are modified where covered by the Commercial Redevelopment, Urban Renewal, Tukwila South, and Public Recreation Overlays. The Comprehensive Plan describes HDR as follows: High -Density Residential: Areas characterized by larger and higher density multi -family buildings and their accessory uses, along with educational, institutional, and recreational uses. Although not stated, high density neighborhoods have typically been located adjacent to and along major transportation corridors. They have been used to separate noisier uses and areas from the single family areas and to provide housing in neighborhood and regional centers of the City. Page 7 of 12 05/29/2018 35 36 The Comprehensive Plan's highest priority objective is the following: Objective. "To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability." Numerous goals and policies clarify and support this objective. Some representative examples from the Housing and Residential Neighborhoods elements follow: Housing Goal 3.1 The City of Tukwila provides the City's fair share of regional housing. Housing Policy 3.6.1 Encourage long-term residency by improving neighborhood quality, health and safety. Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.1 Residential Land Use Pattern: A land use pattern that encourages a strong sense of community by grouping compatible and mutually supportive uses and separating incompatible uses. Residential Neighborhoods Goal 7.4 Neighborhood Sustainability: Continuing enhancement and revitalization of residential neighborhoods to encourage long-term residency and environmental sustainability. Residential Neighborhoods Implementation strategies support retaining LDR zoning and encourage infrastructure improvements as follows: • Continued emphasis on existing land use patterns to protect and preserve residential uses. • Investment in public works and infrastructure improvements. • Continue to develop and implement the Residential Street Program in the CIP. • Development of a variety of new housing, including single-family homes. Residential Neighborhood and Sub -Area Vitality City -planned utility improvements and extensions place priority on improving and sustaining residential neighborhood quality and livability. Utility investments affect neighborhood quality of life and the ability to realize established visions for specific sub -areas. (City of Tukwila Comprehensive Plan, 2015) Tukwila functional plans Tukwila parks and open space do not exist in this neighborhood. The Parks Recreation and Open Space (PROS) Plan has identified the need for a neighborhood park but implementation is shown beyond 2023. A "Ryan Hill Park" is planned "following the upgrade of the local sewer service in the area, which would drive additional housing demand." (Tukwila Parks, Recreation, and Open Space Plan; 2013) Sanitary sewer service. The Ryan Hill neighborhood encompasses 116 acres with less than a mile of sewer. The capital plan for Sanitary Sewer identifies a $1.9 million sewer revitalization for the area but the timeline is beyond 2022. The justification for the project are the existing septic systems that are failing and creating public health hazards. Comprehensive Plan policy 12.1.22 Serve all existing and potential residences and businesses with a sewer utility. The Capital Facilities Plan identifies a $1.9 million sewer project for the neighborhood with the justification that septic systems are failing in the area. Page 8 of 12 05/29/2018 The proposed project would extend sanitary sewer from MLKJWS on the site and then per the City's Infrastructure Design and Construction Standards Manual extend it to the east property line. Bringing the sewer an additional 100 feet to the adjacent right of way would provide an opportunity for future extensions and hook-ups to the sanitary system. Tukwila water service is available to serve the higher intensity land use; however, because the system is not looped the pressure is not adequate for larger buildings. Construction will likely require modifications to structure size to accommodate the lower pressure. Access in the neighborhood is via two neighborhood arterials — Ryan Way and 51st Avenue S., which have adequate capacity but are not complete streets. Ryan Way does not have bicycle facilities and 51st Avenue S. has sporadic pedestrian facilities. The local access street, 47th Avenue S., meets the minimum street right of way width standard of 50-60 feet, is over 1,000 feet in length and does not contain a turn -around. 600 feet is the City standard for cul-de-sacs the City standard for neighborhood block size is no more than 1,000 feet on one side and double loaded Tots on the width. On the other lots along 47th Avenue S., future single family development is likely to be through individual single family home construction permits and short plats that do not typically result in sidewalks or public street improvements. The condition of the street however is not adequate for a higher density project. For example, the pavement width and shoulders are uneven. Financial Planning Model Policy FP -6 — The financing of limited benefit capital improvements (i.e. private development) should be borne by the primary beneficiaries of the improvement. The principle underlying limited benefit is that the property is peculiarly benefited and therefore the owners do not in fact pay anything in excess of what they receive by reason of such improvement. Policy FP -7 — Each Enterprise Fund shall be reviewed annually and it must have a rate structure adequate to meet its operations & maintenance and long-term capital requirements. The program manager for the Sewer Comprehensive Plan stated that developers must bear the burden of extending sewer into this area. 2. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map is consistent with the scope and purpose of TMC Title 18, "Zoning Code," and the description and purpose of the zone classification applied for. (TMC 18.84.020 Criteria) If approved, the requested map change would rezone approximately 10.5 acres from Tukwila's Low Density Residential to the High Density Residential designation/zone. The Comprehensive Plan states that high-density residential areas are characterized by larger and higher density multi -family buildings and their accessory uses, along with education, institutional and recreational uses. The HDR District (TMC 18.14.010) implements the Comprehensive Plan designation of high density residential. The Zone is used to designate areas that allow up to Page 9 of 12 05/29/2018 37 38 22.0 dwelling units per net acre. Senior citizen housing is allowed up to 60 dwelling units per acre, subject to additional restrictions. It is intended to provide a high-density, multiple -family district that is also compatible with commercial and office areas. Consideration was given to the land uses and development standards in the two different zones. The difference between the two zones in terms of land use are that in HDR the following uses are permitted and are not allowed in LDR: boarding homes; convalescent, assisted living and nursing homes for up to 12 patients; townhouses and multifamily (22 units per acre) and senior housing (at 60/units per acre;) libraries, museums, and public art galleries; and manufactured home parks. If the property were rezoned as HDR, and did not redevelop as currently proposed by the applicant, the range of other uses listed above could be developed as permitted uses. 3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the proposed amendment to the Zoning Map; (TMC 18.84.020(3)) and In November of 2016, central Puget Sound voters approved a funding package that includes the construction of a new light rail station within a mile of the site. The Station is scheduled for completion in the 2030s and provides access to a high capacity transit system. One half mile is the usual walk shed for rail systems but bus routes are rerouted to provide feeder service to the stations. Boeing Access Road and S. Ryan Way will be a major route to serve the station. The opportunity to have high quality transit access was not funded until 2016. The current economic impact on the regional housing market was not expected. The price of homes is rising faster in the Seattle area than anywhere else in the nation. Since the downturn in 2007, home prices are up 23.9%. Seattle leads the nation in year over year and month over month home price growth. The applicant proposes an affordable senior housing project. A major initiative to fund, build and replace City buildings (Public Facilities Plan, Tukwila 2016) will impact the overall Capital Improvement Program and likely delay any identified neighborhood infrastructure improvements thereby delaying upgrades and public infrastructure in this neighborhood. Development is and will be expected to continue to pay for itself. 4. The proposed amendment to the Zoning Map will be in the interest of furtherance of the public health, safety, comfort, convenience, and general welfare, and will not adversely affect the surrounding neighborhood, nor be injurious to other properties in the vicinity in which the subject property is located. (TMC 18.84.040(4)) The City's Capital Facilities Plan shows the need for urban infrastructure improvements in this neighborhood for a neighborhood park and a sewer system to serve the area. Timing and funding for these facilities, however, has not been identified. The lots that are south of S. 107th Street and west of 50th Avenue S. are dependent on access to the sanitary sewer line in MLKJWS. The rezone will allow a project that will provide affordable housing, provide new construction that could serve to anchor the area and create a higher standard of design quality as required by the City's rigorous design review process. Development of the site would improve the infrastructure for the neighborhood and make sanitary sewers possible in the near term for property owners. Page 10 of 12 05/29/2018 CONCLUSIONS Below are the four decision criteria in bold and the conclusions drawn from the findings above. 1. The proposal is consistent with the goals, objectives and policies of the Comprehensive Plan. The 2015 Comprehensive Plan update reaffirmed Tukwila's highest priority objective, "To improve and sustain residential neighborhood quality and livability." This neighborhood is a challenging area because of the lack of public facilities and environmentally challenging land of slopes and water. The subject site, although it borders the interstate and MLKJWS on the west, has no access except through a local access street that is bordered by single family homes. The public facilities identified to support and serve this area are not funded in the near or mid- term. The proposal would be able to pay for urban services and amenities that would support the overall livability and quality of this residential neighborhood. Specifically, access to the site is via 47th Avenue S. and S. 109 Street west of 47th Avenue S, which are not adequate for higher density travel, would need to be improved. Their improvement would improve overall neighborhood quality; therefore, the City Council concludes that as part of the future project and as a condition of this rezone, the applicant should make street improvements that meet the City's infrastructure standards including sidewalks. Sanitary sewer would be extended as part of the future project from MLKWJS onto the site and to the east property line. To benefit the neighborhood, the extension of the sewer to the adjacent public right of way would also fulfill the Comprehensive Plan's goal of improving neighborhood quality and livability and fulfilling the policy of serving all residences with sewer service. The City Council concludes that conditioning the rezone to require the extension of the sewer line to the right of way to the east will increase the access and the feasibility and decrease the total system cost for sanitary sewers in the neighborhood and therefore meet the criteria. 2. The proposal is consistent with the scope and purpose of the Zoning Code and the description and purpose of the HDR zone. High density development lends itself to clustering and thereby preserving sensitive areas and open space. The entire property would be under one owner and manager thereby limiting the incremental impacts typical of individual homeowners on trees, wetlands and streams. 3. There are changed conditions since the previous zoning became effective to warrant the amendment to the Map. Residents of the City have stated that they are struggling and being displaced due to the impact of rising rents and the high cost of homeownership. The unprecedented economic impact caused by the regional demand for housing is hurting members of the community who are economically challenged. The proposal could provide affordable housing for seniors as well as basic public facilities that would support the surrounding property owners. Page 11 of 12 05/29/2018 39 40 4. The proposal shall be in the interest of furthering the public health, safety, comfort, convenience and general welfare and will not adversely affect the neighborhood or be injurious to the properties in the vicinity. Of benefit to the neighborhood with the project would be the opportunity to connect to sanitary sewer and a reduced overall cost because of the approximate 800 linear feet that would be built by the project developers. Development of the subject site requires the applicant to bring the sewer line onto the property and to the east property line. The City Council concludes that in order to meet the criteria the rezone should be conditioned with the requirement to bring the sewer line an additional 100 feet to 47t" Avenue S. to assist with the availability of the system for expanded neighborhood use. Comment from emergency service providers and the results of the traffic analysis indicate that left turning movements are difficult onto S. Ryan Way and would be a concern with increase in trips associated with the rezone. In order to further the interests of public safety, comfort and convenience, the City Council concludes that the rezone should be conditioned to require left turn pockets to facilitate and assist in maintaining adequate level of service and safety in entering and exiting 47th Avenue S. from S. Ryan Way. The City Council concludes that redesignating the site to HDR would be in the best interest of the neighborhood subject to specific conditions that would support the Comprehensive Plan's priority of creating high quality residential neighborhoods and further the public's health, safety and comfort.

BACKGROUND On January 18, 2022 Economic Development staff presented our 2022 work plan to the Planning and Community Development committee. One of the items on the workplan is to "position Tukwila Village Community Development Associates for self-sufficiency" and the Committee asked staff to return later in the year to provide a more detailed update on TVCDA. Note: the workplan used the word "associates" but "association" is more appropriate. DISCUSSION The Tukwila Village Community Development Association was formed in 2018. A description of the formation partners, process, history, and rationale is included in the attached staff memo to the Planning and Community Development Committee dated February 23, 2021. TVCDA is lead by an all -volunteer board that currently has seven members (see attached list). Over the past four years the board has focused on forming itself and seeking a partner organization who can manage the rentals of the community spaces at the Sullivan Center. It has been a challenging four years with the pandemic and finding a venue manager. Once the Board is ready to select a venue manager, TVCDA will execute a lease of the community spaces at the Sullivan Center while simultaneously executing a property management agreement with the venue manager. Until that time, any venue rentals are handled by the property ownership group, Tukwila Village Development Associates, LLC. Currently, the board is reviewing a venue management proposal from Independent Living Associates, LLC which is a business that jointly operates Tukwila Village with Sustainable Housing for Ageless Generations (SHAG). Staff is hopeful that the Board will be ready to approve the lease and property management agreement in April. After that, staff anticipates the Board will reach out to other non-profit organizations that serve the Tukwila area to better understand how TVCDA should direct its efforts. FINANCIAL IMPACT None RECOMMENDATION Information Only. ATTACHMENTS Staff Memo to Planning and Community Development Committee dated February 23, 2021. TVCDA Board of Directors 51 52 City of Tukwila Allan Ekberg, Mayor INFORMATIONAL MEMORANDUM TO: Planning and Community Development Committee FROM: Derek Speck, Economic Development Administrator CC: Mayor Ekberg DATE: February 23, 2021 SUBJECT: Representation on Tukwila Village Community Development Association ISSUE Staff is seeking Council direction on City representation on the board of directors of the Tukwila Village Community Development Association. BACKGROUND In 2007 the City Council adopted a vision for Tukwila Village. The vision intended for Tukwila Village to be a welcoming place where all residents can gather and connect with each other. It was intended as an active, vibrant, mixed-use development that would include elements such as a library, retail, restaurants, public meeting space, and an outdoor plaza and could include other elements such as office, live/work, and residential space. Tukwila Village was intended as a privately owned development that would not be under City control but would have some spaces as community amenities. In order to accomplish the vision, in 2012 the City Council approved a Disposition and Development Agreement (DDA) with the developer of Tukwila Village that set out the deal terms to accomplish that vision. To achieve community access on private property, Section 2.8 of the DDA provided for the creation of an independent, community based non-profit organization that would, through a lease agreement, manage, operate, maintain, and promote the use of the community room with kitchen and plaza to serve as community amenities to benefit not only the privately owned property of the Tukwila Village development but also the community at large. The property owner, Sustainable Housing for Ageless Generations (SHAG), and the City cooperated to create the community organization and in 2018 created the Tukwila Village Community Development Association (TVCDA) as a Washington State non-profit corporation. It was created as its own legal organization and is not a board, commission, or other type of entity controlled by the City of Tukwila. During the creation process, the three organizations realized the mission of the non-profit should be broader than just managing the community facilities and so patterned it after community development associations. Its articles of incorporation describe the mission which includes the following: "to improve the social welfare, including the physical, emotional, and economic health, of members of the public in the City of Tukwila and the residents of Tukwila Village by promoting arts, economic development, education, health, and community building." One could summarize TVCDA's mission as "to improve the quality of life for the Tukwila community." 53 INFORMATIONAL MEMO Page 2 In 2018 the TVCDA Board adopted bylaws that provide for the property owner and the City to each appoint one member to the Board of Directors. This was intended to ensure the TVCDA Board would balance the interests of the property owner and community. The initial two directors were named in the articles of incorporation with Mayor Ekberg as the City's representative. This enabled the formation to proceed quickly and indicated the importance of this non-profit as a way to attract others to join the Board. The Mayor continues to serve in that role. DISCUSSION This item is being brought to the Council to understand if the Council would like to have a role in the City's future appointment to the TVCDA Board of Directors. Staff sees four main options: (1) Although TVCDA is not a City board or commission, the Mayor could appoint the City's representative and the Council could confirm the appointment which would follow the City's standard process for appointments to City boards and commissions. Appointees could include any City elected official, a staff member, a resident, or anyone else. (2) The Council could express intent that this position is to be filled by an elected official (either the Mayor or a Councilmember) with the latter to be appointed by the Council. (3) The Council could decide the City should not participate. (4) The Council does not have to take a position. The decision for City participation would continue to rest with the Administration. Some of the reasons in favor of the first two options is because it gives the City a stronger position through which to influence the work and board composition of TVCDA. It is a method to influence the policies for managing the community spaces at Tukwila Village to serve the whole community. TVCDA also has a broader mission than managing the community spaces and it is a way for the City to have an integral role in achieving TVCDA's broader mission. One of the main reasons in favor of the third option, is that the City may prefer to not have a direct connection to setting policies for public use of the community spaces at Tukwila Village, especially because those policies can be controversial. In addition, participation in any organization requires a commitment of time. FINANCIAL IMPACT No financial or budget impact. RECOMMENDATION The Committee is being asked to provide direction on the four options above and forward a recommendation to the March 8, 2021 Committee of the Whole meeting for discussion.
